The 1971 Honda Motosport SL-350 K1 has a split personality. Basic beauty. Baja Beast.

OK, the beauty part's obvious right? Just look at the SL350 K1. No one put together a more attractive piece of machinery than Honda. Futuristic lines. Perfectly integrated accessories. wild candy colors. But what about the beast under all that beauty? Got your doubts? Let's take it apart.

New rugged frame - Honda engineers have developed a revolutionary, extra-tough, double-cradle frame for the 350 K1. So tough it can withstand the beating of almost any kind of terrain you can ride. Yes...even The Baja. And it also distributes weight more efficiently, making the big Motosport easier to handle.

Weight Loss - Motosport 350 K1 is over 40 lbs. lighter than its predecessor. That makes the big Motosport a jack rabbit in the desert. Fast moving. Quick to respond.

Beefed-up Torque - Torque's been boosted at low rpm. Torque curve flattened. Making it even better for dirt. And the gear ratios have been opened up a hair with the same object in mind.
